Ok so this summer I have decided to build my very own desktop computer. I have been doing some research and have parts picked out. I will be using this computer for gaming and work so it needs to be decently powerful but not so much so that I end up spending a gazillion dollars. I need to know if these parts will all work together correctly and if they are worth the cost. Also suggestions on other parts to use instead would be greatly appreciated.
